Emron posted:The Guided Gaming thing looks less like full-on LFR as it is "we're an established group that needs a sixth," so it probably won't dumb down/eliminate mechanics like LFR does in other games. It basically seems to be catering to "I'm good enough to raid but need a group right now" more than "I'm a dumb gently caress who wants to queue into coordination-based encounters with 5 other people who can't communicate with me." I agree. It eliminates one big problem with matchmade games- no one is in charge of the fireteam. A boot button is a huge incentive to not be a lazy dumbass.

FishBulb posted:Has Destiny ever had a real hidden secret thing? When was the last time anything had some secret ARG thing? Seems like forever. There was an ARG surrounding the Outbreak Prime quest and a few things have popped up in the game with no announcement or clues (like the Black Spindle or NTTE encounters). With modern online communities it's almost impossible to give every player their own personal discoveries any more.

Yeah, everything in the videos looks kind of... unadorned. Maybe because it's natural to compare it to the ornate Destiny 1 endgame stuff, but lots of the guns look smooth and boxy as well as the armor stuff already noted. Maybe everyone's playing with blues?

I think he meant a clause in one of the leaked Activision contracts approving a project that had something to do with the Marathon IP. I don't think there have been any public announcements ever traced back to that.

So when a gun drops, is it already tagged as kinect or energy? Or do all primary guns work in either slot and suppress their element if they're equipped as kinetic? Do the slots share ammo? TTK is definitely up, someone earlier said that a lot of one-hit kill situations have been removed.

Spiv posted:Just your guardian really. Any non-player Guardian talks. Also your guardian does talk. Might wanna play those early missions again. I know you *do* talk sometimes, I'm saying that you shouldn't have. It would have saved them the trouble of hiring and recording all those different VAs and players would never have had a reason to snark about their character not talking if it had been written into the fiction that they didn't.

No reviving in Nightfall sounds terrible, who wants to be the guy deciding whether to spend 15 minutes soloing an encounter or kill yourself and start over with all 3.the good fax machine posted:Obviously I haven't touched the game yet, but I'm having a hard time imaging a scenario where a fusion rifle would be the weapon of choice for the power slot. I can maybe see running a shotgun or sniper in PVP, or definitely a sniper in some raid encounters for example. But why use a fusion rifle, even if the damage gets turned way up, in a world where rockets and grenade launchers exist? Other than to just gently caress around? Because each power ammo drop gives you 1 rocket or 5 fusion shots. Fusions are already kinda useless in PVE so maybe their behavior has been changed in some way to make them more attractive.

the good fax machine posted:I wonder if there'll be a year 3 moments of triumph, or if the big book was basically it. I had no problem completing the last two as a nice little primer for the upcoming new release. The difference being that the MoT books were manageable in like a weekend, whereas that big fuckoff AoT book is, to me, a big "nope". The big book is it. It's deliberately not manageable in a weekend because it was supposed to last until D2.

the good fax machine posted:-UI color seems to be determined based on subclass, so Striker titan has blue icons, Gunslinger has orange, etc. This is extremely good if you are a dummy like me and frequently forget what subclass you are playing. I hope they have a plan for colorblind users, should probably change the shape as well. the good fax machine posted:Also I definitely heard somebody say that they were moving back to more of connection based matchmaking, but I've been watching/listening to so much of this crap that I can't remember what the source was. Fingers crossed, anyway. This is far from the first time they've said this, it's the stock answer for when they get cornered about it.

They didn't have weapon cosmetics for the base game or TTK, but now that they do it would be a good way to allow for both easily attainable gameplay variation and also rewarding people who got lucky or did something difficult. They're already doing this with the AoT raid armor, now they just need to tie the weapon ornaments to challenges too.

There are 3 classes of sparrows, basically- most basic legendaries go 150, special reward sparrows (faction drops etc) go 160, and the two Y1 raid sparrows have a special overdrive mode that you can feather to go much faster at the risk of exploding if you screw up.

All that was probably triaged during the worst of development. It was probably the right call- good shooting and encounters with bad storytelling is better than the other way around for a game like this. What they should have done with all the planets was what they did with the dreadnaught in TTK, which was to withhold patrol mode until a destination's story was fully settled. Then they have the freedom to make major changes to the region over the course of the missions and don't have to be compatible with free roam all the time. Seal stuff off until it's earned, put things in the world that random players not on missions don't have to see, etc. Hopefully the open world aspect of D2 means it's closer to this.
